Well, to be fair, according to TMZ the director of photography accidentally ruined a scene by walking onto the set.

I'd be mad too.

And how many scenes has Bale ruined in his career by fucking his lines or what-not? Do the lighting and camera guys get to cuss him out when that happens?

An honest mistake is not the same as repeated carelessness. A professional DP would know not to walk in the background of the scene while it's shooting.

Agree with Haytil.

When the camera is rolling, most people know know not move (or even breathe) during a take, let alone walk into the shot. Everyone does their best to get the shot done so they can quickly move on to the next set-up.

Wow. Tacky. Tacky. Tacky.
I would never speak to one my employees, friends, or dogs that way. It's just uncalled for.
Although it is a nice addition to my personal theory, that almost all actors have bipolar disorder. That is a classic manic-outburst.

I think it's madly entertaining but probably out of context. There's stuff in there to suggest the DP has a pattern of unprofessional behavior. This was probably the straw that broke the camel's back and Bale was mic'd for it. He took it too far but a DP that walks into a shot deserves a smackdown. The DP is the last person that should walk into a shot. And it sounds like he kept his job after that.

I think he's a kickass actor but fucking hell, what a bastard. How bad could it really have been for one scene? He doesn't mention it being complicated or anything so it just sounds like a dialogue scene got fucked up. How much does it really matter? I don't know much about film sets.
